a quick anecdote about steeping...

right this moment, I'm vaping deejBlend 05 Menthol ++ that I mixed up on 09-Feb of this year.

It was good a few days later (remembering the 2-day minimum steep time).

It is EXCELLENT now! :)

Then menthol is much more pronounced and has more of a bite to it. The cigarette-ish back-end is still quite present and has lost some of the sweetness that, for me, was a negative aspect.

I am even more inclined to do a pre-steeped line of select flavors...


ETA: vaping that on my ProVari @ 3.7v using a 6mL SmokTech DC Tank

Oh I think a pre steeped line is an excellent idea and would make a great selling point! Takes the guesswork out. I have a couple flavors of yours that I'm still wondering if are "done". But I think I might also be dealing with my first batch of bad cartos, as well, cuz its a consistent odd taste, so I dunno I'm going to try them in some different cartos too. Anyway, sorry for the senseless babble that's rather off topic lol!

BTW, I'm Banana Cheesecake atm is my (very first) all day vape! It's so lovely to chill and enjoy with coffee, but still great enough for on the go!

Anywhooze I'm gonna shush I'm overtired and rambling lol

Technically, they should all be ready to go... it's been 5 days plus. All of them (including the Banana Cheesecake) will continue to mature, but you may run out before much longer.

The odd taste concerns me... are you by any chance using dual-coil cartos? I know last year I imported a slew of dual-coil cartos made by Smok that turned out to be bad. They were built incorrectly (apparently). They would work, to an extent, but not the way they were supposed to. I recall lack of vapor being one of the problems reported, but don't recall if an off-taste was reported.

Feel free to email me with any questions, comments or concerns!

Yikes Deej! I hate the thought of anything ruining the quality & flavor of your juice!! Hope that got resolved to your satisfaction!

On the pre-steeped line... keeping in mind that I haven't yet fully committed to it...

1) I could offer the pre-steeped liquids at a permanent discount. Since mixing in bulk saves me time (hence money) it only makes sense.
2) I'd hold the finished bottles back for 2 - 4 weeks after mixing to make sure they've matured.

Questions for the Clowder:

What size bottle? Right now, I'd love to do the 10mL, since I've got a boat-load of them. I might be persuaded to do 5mL as well, but the labeling time concerns me. Each 5mL gets 2 labels, where the 10mL gets just the one.

I'd sort of like to start with a limited line. Keep in mind that I'll be committing time and materials to something that won't bear fruit for about a month. So... what flavors? I'm thinking Sweet Gingerbread, Tiramisu, Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Champagne, Pomegranate Champagne and Peppermint Taffy. Any other suggestions?

I'd likely do these up with 125% flavor loading, 70/30 PG/VG and in strengths of 8, 16 and 24mg.

I've probably asked these questions before... but I'd greatly appreciate your current thinking.



(Are these the thoughts of somebody who can't make up their mind, or of somebody that wants to provide the best they can to the customer?)

It got resolved, but that resolution left a VERY bad taste in my mouth. I ended up buying new stock to replace (at my cost) the bad units. I could have fallen back on the refrain of, "Sorry... out of my hands... they're disposable, so there's not much I can do.", but I couldn't bring myself to not stand behind what I sold.

Please, include RY4 and at least one smoke flavor at the pre-steeped line. Maybe Oba-Oba as well. These e-liquids are a must in my opinion.
10ml bottles are great, 125% flavor loading, 70/30 PG/VG and in strengths of 8, 16 and 24mg is exactly what I was thinking of!!!

Does this mean you got your shipment???

(please say, "Yes"... please oh please oh please)

Definitely someone who wants to provide the best product they can to the customer!

My first impulse was to jump up & down chanting CantaMelon! CantaMelon! But I know myself well enough to know that I'll order well before I need to replenish, in order to ensure that I have well steeped CantaMelon on hand at all times.

I like the idea of offering a few juices pre-steeped - may help bring in new customers who might otherwise be turned off by the idea of juice needed to steep (though I appreciate the customization it offers!).

I think 10ml is fine - it's a good size sample - not so big that new customers have a hard time committing to it, but big enough that they should be able to order more before they run out (unless they're like me, fall in love, and can't stop until they've demolished 10ml in under 2 days).

I guess you could do a 5ml, but maybe offer it as a pre-steeped sampler pack only for those who can't make up their minds?

I am pleased to inform you it was bad cartos, not your awesome juice :) they were the Boge 510 LRs that came with my Kgo. :)
And yeah, I'm a little more than half thru my banana cheesecake lol I'm definitely going to have to order more when I get paid, its going quicker now I'm using a bottom feed clearomizer. (which I love BTW)

Anyways, I think if 5ml's are a pain, don't offer them on your presteeps, if you decide to go that route :) I also suggest adding a waffle flavor to the line up, seems like it would round out the list. I should try a waffle flavor with my next order. And a capaccino (sp?)

Not sure how to break this news to those of you who are deejStuff PENophiles... but the pens won't be arriving tomorrow after all.

I was so looking forward to sending a pen out with each order starting tomorrow....


... and I will. 'Cause they're here. The nice FedEx man just handed 'em to me.

Okay... I gotta take my excitement where I get it, y'know? It's not like anybody's sending me nekkid pictures of theyselves or anything... :p


Poor Deej. :( Let me give you a hug.:p
